Below is what the official download page looks like. Unless you saw this page I would be worried.

Go to the link below and see if they recognize your e-mail address.

As I said I did download from the official page. Yes I did log in with my original email address I used to purchase.


I would appreciate an answer to my original question now that is out of the way..

Your spy ware NoAdware does not get very good reviews If I were you I would dump it but that is up to you. Below are a couple of links to reviews of it. There are allot of free spy ware tools out there that are allot better. The last link has some good choices in it. There is also allot of information you should know about in the last link about P2P saftey.

That spyware program don't work properly. It will probably delete LW from your computer. Someone else recently had that problem. That's why we recommend the ones that do work properly. 1. Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE), & also 2. ad-ware (FREE)

If you want to continue using that spyware program you presently have, then you should put both LW & BS on the ignore list. ie: de-select them in the scan results screen before removal or/& add them to the
anti-spyware program's "ignore" list. But you may well get other "dubious" results with that spyware program also.
